Young Hippies and SCHOOL

Yes....school....the dreaded concept. I for one am the only "Hippie" at mine. The folks at my school never cease to let me forget that by acting so very much like they feel their generation should. I have often started activities to see if my fellow classmates can go 10 minutes of being a kind person. Not one person passed. I didn't start this thread to bash our classmates, but to perhaps grow, and help eachother so we don't feel isolated in a world where the concept of comapssion is slowley shrinking into oblivion...

 

I'm homeschooled so I am able to evade the horseshit.

 

i got a couple fellow hippies at my school my best friend Dylan (pianoperson08 or whatever) is one, his gf Joy, a junior named Jade, there are a ton of musicians and writers and actors who have the mindset. we even started an amnesty international human rights club

 

Homeschooled here... yay me. :H

 

What is this ..'school'.. you speak of?

 

im so glad im done with highschool. middleschool was the worst though. i remember once eating acid at my middle school (bad idea, i know better now) and being so disgusted with the ego driven social games that are played out to the fullest in these prison systems we call education facilities. i never fit in at school, as most thought i was too strange to be cool. though i would have called them the crazy ones...crazy bastards.

 

I actually really like high school. Whining about it is for the weak. There aren't many "hippies" per say, but there are plenty of artsy people who really lack any label. Plus it's great to be able to float between typical social groups- you learn alot that way.

 

Heh, I was always the same way... you start to see that shit...

i imagine my highschool was a bit different though....living in a small community in northern utah. there wasnt much diversity to say the least. id say about 96% of my high school was mormon...which is scary. such strange people they are.

 

i'm the only one of 'my kind' (haha) at my school too..
well there's one more..my friend sarah..though she's a different kind.. if that makes sense
and i really don't like 99% of the people that go there..
my school board is fucked up.
i mean, who makes PUBLIC fucking schools have uniforms? we can wear two color pants and three color shirts..
how fucked up is that?



but yeah...i hate my school...
=(

 

im not a hippy...
weve got some like artsy fartsy people at my school, then a ton of preppies and jocks, some geeks, and then the nothings. i am a nothing, because i cant be classified into anything.

 

That's like my school board.... there's people taking blow jobs to pass people...

heh... I figure they don't need the extra $6000 a year from me and I feel safer with my education in my own hands. Not only that, but I also have friends who are homeschooled and we can go anywhere at anytime because we have no agenda... I often find myself doing work at 3 and 4am.

 

im homeschool now but i cant wait to go back to school ill be going to metro-arts (its SO amazing, the lady who runs the school (there are only i think 200 people enrolled) she was showing me a tour one day and in the guitar class everyone was sitting around playing guitars, and there's a sculpting class where everyone was just standing around making stuff, this other class was everyone giving each other henna tattoos, and there's a photography class with a darkroom, everyone just hung out in it, aaaand for math there were probably 15 people and when we walked in the teacher (who looked about 20) looks at us with this look on his face and says "we're learning math " it was great

 

Yea i think thats kinda like me. im not exactly a hippy but i find my self believing in the ideals. i find it easy to get along with most people so i can just float around.

 

I totally can relate with you I'm the only hippie at my school 2. Everyone doesnt understand why I am one so i ask them "well why are you what u are" and they can never seem to anwser that. But I'm pretty popular at my school and mostly because I'm a hippie. You can see my Tye Dye from a mile away and my many necklaces always jingle in class when I walk.I fucking hate school. All I like is Lunch, PE and Drama class. You hardly need it all you need is the damn certificate. Half of the shit I've learned isnt from school. Einstein failed high school. Bill gates dropped out of college.

 

Yes....school is the most fucked up establishment...know matter what social class you're in, you'd probably agree with that statement...but yeah, the home-schooled kids have it relativley lucky I presume, I'm glad to hear it gets better....I assume college will be better too, I hear people are more open minded...

yeah i go to a rich kid prep school so they are pretty close minded and judgemental and there arent many hippies but since its new orleans there are a lot of artsy counterculture types, stoners, etc. so its not to bad- i think that as people grow up and learn more ab the world and themselves they acre less ab other people and become less judgemental- its just a high school thing but yeh it totally sucks

 

If I could go to an alternative art school, I would. I don't live near any. I live in a little fishing town on the chesapeake bay...

those of you who left xanga's or myspaces I've added you...so dont be weirded out that this random person has added you...I just wanna connect with people express the same opinion as me, its sooooo refreshing...

 

im the only hippie in my school also...theres mostly just preppies in my school..some of my friends are really preppie as u may say...im open minded about ppl so i get to know them before i make a judgement call..but its hard becuase many of my friends are into complete opposite things as i am..which is fine but because of this its hard for me to connect with many of the kids and therefor i dont really have a best friend or anything..it sucks...but im going to an awsome college soon so i only have to deal with all of this until the end of the year..peace and love
